Energy of the Day:  January 8, 2008

Sun in Capricorn/Moon in Capricorn

Mercury in Aquarius:

Mercury moves out of Capricorn and into Aquarius today.   Aquarius is an air sign, which has to do with the mind, intellect, group consciousness, and our friends.   Mercury naturally feels at home here, because he is in his own element, and in fact is considered exalted in this sign.   However, Mercury spends an enormous amount of time in this sign do to its retrograde action (I will go into this in a later post).  

What does it mean to be exalted?   Any planet that is exalted in a sign is considered a special guest.   It would be similar to The Queen of England visiting the United States.  She is not the leader of the country, but she is held in “high regard”, therefore she would be “exalted” to a higher standard than other leaders.    You can also use a metaphor regarding best friends.  Even though your friends are often accepted and invited and part of your core group; a best friend is more considered family and holds an “exalted” status within your social group.   Best friends would hold a higher significance in your home than your other friends would.   So, Mercury feels good in Aquarius and is able to express (Mercury) itself in an expanded and innovative way.  

Aries and Sagittarius:  Mercury in Aquarius will offer you special opportunities to communicate in an effective manner.   For Aries, you may find that communicating with your siblings and expanding your education are areas that you will be considering over the next few months.  Take this time to use these opportunities to your advantage!  If need to resolve relationships with your siblings you can use this transit to plant a more positive seed and begin the process of communicating in more of an effective manner.   For Sagittarius, Mercury in Aquarius reflects a time to open up new friendships and join new social clubs.  You will find others very supportive at this time.

Taurus and Scorpio:  Mercury in Aquarius can be difficult for you over the next few months.   There is a natural square (obstacles) between these signs, and you can find yourself at odds with people around you – especially family members.   Take this time to keep the lines of communication open in a positive manner, remember squares are tense, yet provide us opportunities for growth.   Ask yourself where you need to grow with your communication during this cycle.    For Taurus, you could find issues regarding your home and needs for repair occur during this cycle; it is time to tidy things up and fix anything that you may have been putting off or avoiding.  For Scorpio, you could find tension in the work place, and this might lead you to asking yourself questions about your future career decisions.

Cancer and Virgo:  Mercury in Aquarius means that you need to make adjustments over the next few months.   Mercury is naturally inclined towards the inconjunct (adjustments) aspect, as Mercury is known as a trickster.   For Cancer, you may find yourself focusing on your health and day to day activities at this time.  If you want to begin a new health program or exercise regime this would be the time for you to put this to work.  For Virgo, you may need to take a stronger look at your budget and decide where you can cut the fat, and tighten up your financial spending.

Leo:   Mercury in Aquarius can strongly affect your relationships over the next several months.  This transit is going to cause tension in those around you, and you might find yourself at odds with people.   Since relationships begin with the relationships with our families, it can also effect familial communications.   Oppositions give us a unique opportunity.  They provide us with information and details about ourselves.  Everything that you find difficult about other individuals you should deeply look at inside of yourself and see if you also are at fault.   Take this time to explore yourself and you may find many insightful things you can apply to your future. 

Aquarius:  Mercury in your own sign is going to be very positive for you.   Now is the time for you to go out and get what you want, and have the ability to communicate with others in a powerful manner.  Conjunctions are very positive towards bringing energy together, so you will notice people siding with you and actually wanted to do things for you in a dynamic manner.   Since, Mercury may spend a long period of time transiting your Sun (identity); you also will find yourself exploring yourself and your future opportunities and goals.   It is time for you get control of your future, and you will find few obstacles in your way. 

Gemini and Libra:   Mercury in Aquarius is a lucky position for you.  Creative ideals and manifestations will prove beneficial.   For Gemini, you will find that you are more creative than ever.  Now is time for you to get what you want, and use this extended period to go after it.  You will find yourself the ruler of your own destiny, and have the ability to manifest things in a concrete manner.  For Libra, Mercury in Aquarius will provide you with a period where it feels like the “God’s” are on your side.   Your ship actually could come in, and you might find yourself on a trip towards inner fulfillment and opportunity.   Investments are also very powerful for you at this time.
